Leave it to Nana to be able to convince Arissa to sit there quietly like it was nothing! When I got home from work Friday I was surprised by the beautiful daisy earrings in Arissa's ears....she was so happy! She couldn't WAIT to show Jesse. He couldn't believe it. Arissa proudly tells everyone that she comes in contact with. :o) I'm so proud of her. It was the same lady that saw her cry and kick and scream and refuse the first time, then sit there quietly w/ no tears the next time. We went to Grossmont center over the weekend and Arissa HAD to go in to Claire's to say hi to her.

I love your blog! I think it is such an awesome way to keep in contact with friends and family. I hope you don't mind me stopping in to check it out! And...I am proud of Arissa too! I remember when I got my ears pierced..I was 5 and really scared, but after I was just as proud as she was. Then we went to watch Pocahontas...fun times.

The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before.-Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return.

"I believe in the sun even when it isn't shining, I believe in love even when I don't feel it, & I believe in God even when he is silent."

it's all about:

Just as you may now think, with some amusement, about prior civilizations who thought your earth was flat, there will be others, in the not too distant future, who will reel in disbelief that there was ever a time when abundance wasn't seen as spiritual, where a dream's manifestation wasn't considered inevitable, and that there were multitudes who knew so little of their importance, their power, and of how deeply they were loved.
